Dow Jones Futures: JPMorgan Buys First Republic As Market Rally Eyes 2023 Highs

Market Rally Shakeout May Be Bullish Signal; JPMorgan Eyes First Republic After FDIC Takeover
Share
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Email

Dow Jones futures were little changed Monday morning, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures. JPMorgan Chase (JPM) will acquire the bulk of First Republic Bank, as part of a quick government seizure and sale.




X



The stock market rally fell sharply last week, but rebounded to close with solid gains, a shakeout that could set the stage for a stronger advance.

The major indexes had tumbled on Tuesday as First Republic Bank (FRC) revived banking fears. But the major indexes found support and rebounded. Initially, megacaps such as Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) led the comeback, but breadth improved late in the week.

The market rally remains “under pressure.”  Investors still need to see a little more market strength and a lot more buying opportunities.

Earnings season remains heavy this week, with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) out late Tuesday and Apple (AAPL) due Thursday. Another Fed rate hike is on tap Wednesday, along with major economic data in the coming week. A big question is whether Fed chief Jerome Powell signals that the central bank will pause rate hikes.

JPMorgan Buying First Republic

Regulators seized and immediately sold First Republic to JPMorgan Chase, which assumes all of the California-based bands $92 billion in deposits. That includes the $30 billion that JPMorgan and other large banks injected into First Republic in March in a bid to head off its collapse. JPMorgan also will buy most of the assets, including about $173 billion in loans and $30 billion in securities.

The The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. will share losses on First Republic’s loans and will give $50 billion in financing to JPMorgan. The agency estimated that its insurance fund would lose $13 billion in the deal.

JPMorgan needed a regulatory waiver to buy First Republic, because it already controls at least 10% of U.S. deposits.

JPM stock rose nearly 4% early Monday, signaling a move above a 141.88 cup-with-handle buy point.

FRC stock plunged 46% in premarket trade. It’s unclear if FRC stock will be worth anything after the deal.

First Republic stock crashed 75% last week to fresh record lows, fueled by disclosure of a massive Q1 deposit outflow. Despite efforts to engineer a quasi-rescue by big banks, expectations of an FDIC takeover grew during the week.

Federal Reserve data Friday evening showed bank deposits and loans both rose in the latest week, signaling no credit crunch so far.

Regional bank stocks plunged midweek to fresh lows on First Republic’s deposit flight but rallied late in the week. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) edged higher Monday morning.

Dow Jones Futures Today

Dow Jones futures rose a fraction vs. fair value. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures edged lower.

Crude oil futures declined 2%.

Remember that overnight action in Dow futures and elsewhere doesn’t necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

Hong Kong and many markets around the world will be closed for May 1 Labor Day holidays, including much of Europe.

META stock is on IBD Leaderboard, with DXCM stock an earnings options play. MSFT stock is on IBD Long-Term Leaders. ANET stock is on the IBD 50. AMD, Arista Networks and DXCM stock are on the IBD Big Cap 20. Arista Networks was Friday’s IBD Stock Of The Day

Monday Earnings, Sales

Meanwhile, EV-focused chipmaker On Semiconductor (ON) will report before Monday’s open. ON stock fell solidly this past week along with other EV-exposed chipmakers amid concerns about EV demand.

China EV startups Li Auto (LI), Nio (NIO) and XPeng (XPEV) reported April deliveries early Monday. Li Auto sales surged to a fresh record of 25,681 hybrid SUVs, up 23% vs. March and 516% vs. a year earlier. XPeng reported just over 7,000 EV sales, up fractionally vs. March. Nio sales slumped to below 7,000 as is struggles with a model changeover.

Weekly data had given strong signals about monthly deliveries for all three companies.

LI stock rose modestly before the open, signaling a move above all its moving averages. Nio and XPeng also edged higher.

China EV and battery giant BYD (BYDDF) will release April sales data early in the week. The Tesla (TSLA) rival reported strong Q1 earnings on Thursday.

Tesla doesn’t break out China sales, but weekly data so far show a solid start to local sales there. But there are reports that Tesla Shanghai has closed for five days around the Labor Day holidays there. Tesla also reportedly has begun offering some modest discounts on some Model 3 and Y inventory vehicles in Europe.

BYD stock is in range from an early entry. LI stock is trying to regain key levels. XPeng and Nio stock face significant hurdles. Tesla stock is below all its moving averages.

Also, Arista Networks (ANET) is on tap to report first-quarter earnings Monday night. ANET stock, a big supplier for Meta Platforms and Microsoft, found support at its 50-day line this past week.

The 10-year Treasury yield fell 12 basis points during the week to 3.45%.

U.S. crude oil futures fell 1.1% to $76.78 a barrel in the past week, even with Friday’s 2.7% bounce. Gasoline futures dipped 0.9% for the week, but 9.1% in the past two weeks.

ETFs

Among growth ETFs, the Innovator IBD 50 ETF (FFTY) sank 3.6% last week, with several components suffering huge earnings losses. The Innovator IBD Breakout Opportunities ETF (BOUT) edged up 0.3%. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF (IGV) sank 1.45%, with Microsoft a big IGV component. The VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH) dipped 0.4%. AMD stock is a major SMH holding with ON stock also in the ETF.

Reflecting more-speculative story stocks, ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) slumped 4.5% last week and ARK Genomics ETF (ARKG) 5.3%. Tesla stock is the No. 1 holding across Ark Invest’s ETFs, with Cathie Wood adding more TSLA shares in the past few weeks. Ark also owns a small BYD stock stake.

SPDR S&P Metals & Mining ETF (XME) retreated 1.6% last week. The Global X U.S. Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE) finished just above break-even. U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) descended 1%, but came well off lows. SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) popped 2.2%. The Energy Select SPDR ETF (XLE) edged up fractionally.

The Financial Select SPDR ETF (XLF) dipped 0.15%, but rebounded to close just below its 50-day. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE) fell 0.6%, but slashed losses after hitting its worst levels since late 2020. FRC stock is a KRE holding.


Five Best Chinese Stocks To Watch Now


Market Rally Analysis

The stock market rally had a wild week, with the major indexes testing support but ultimately closing with solid gains.

The Nasdaq came down to its 50-day line on Tuesday, as First Republic spooked investors once again. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones are near that level, undercutting their 21-day lines by midweek.

Worse, the First Trust Nasdaq-100 Equal Weighted Index ETF (QQEW) and Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) tumbled below their 50-day lines on Tuesday. The latter also skidded below its 200-day as these ETFs kept falling Wednesday, even as Microsoft boosted the Nasdaq.

Meta stock and other tech titans fueled a strong gain Thursday. QQEW and RSP lagged QQQ and SPY, respectively, but still did well. On Friday, the indexes rose modestly, with RSP outperforming, roaring back above its 50-day line.

The Nasdaq didn’t quite get above the April 18 intraday high, but did have its best close since September. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones topped their April peaks with all the major indexes near 2023 highs.

The SMH chip ETF, which tumbled to its worst levels since mid-March, slashed weekly losses but was still below the 50-day line. A few names, such as Lam Research (LRCX) and AMD stock, are setting up near entries. But many chip plays had nasty sell-offs, including some huge earnings drops.

Massive earnings losses among leading stocks have been all-too common in recent days. Market leadership remains narrow. Not many stocks are flashing buy signals or are on the cusp of doing so. Several of those have earnings on tap, including AMD, Floor & Decor (FND), InMode (INMD) and ANET stock.

Apple stock looks extended on a daily chart, but on a weekly chart, investors could view it as just above a buy point from a long cup-with-handle or double-bottom base. The handle also shows up as a three-weeks-tight pattern, according to MarketSmith analysis.

After the past week’s shakeout the market rally could be poised for a stronger advance. If the major indexes break to 2023 highs with any sort of breadth, the market rally may have some room to run with major earnings and the Fed meeting in the rear view mirror. But stocks could hit resistance yet again in the coming days.


Time The Market With IBD’s ETF Market Strategy


What To Do Now

The stock market rally has been difficult to navigate.

Investors likely cut exposure in the past week as many stocks erased gains or flashed sell signals. Despite the major indexes closing higher, there weren’t many opportunities to beef up positions. That’s OK. If the market rally really strengthens, those chances will come. If the indexes whipsaw with weak breadth, you’ll be glad you’re mostly in cash.

Add exposure gradually as conditions improve. Be mindful of earnings reports.

While the end-of-week rebound didn’t trigger a lot of breakouts and early entries, many stocks did start to move into position. So have your watchlists ready.

Many leading stocks, including some big winners from earlier in the year, flashed sell signals in the past week or so
